I ended up replacing my 12 mini with a 6z flip from samsung. The only real annoyance is that Apple hasn't enabled RCS for Danish telecom companies yet. Well that and sand... We'll see how long it lives though. The reason I origina

Can someone help a Danish person understand these cuts? I dislike the current government of USA, but it's not like I can't see the motivation behind wanting Greenland and all the other things they do. Reductions on USA space supre

The cookie banner pop-ups are not compliance with the EU legislation, in fact, many of them are in direct violation of EU laws. If you were to give sites the benefit of doubt, they are doing it because they are copy pasting, but the reality

I'm not sure they became instantly test-driven, but I do think that the exception handling model as default error handling in Java and C# was a big drive toward test-driven development. Eventhough both have the ability to do runtime as

Well yes, considering NASA wanted it in theirs. There are a lot of advantages in immediately failing when your software does something you don't want it to do rather than trying to continue in a corrupted or invalid state. As for how y

I don't think anyone ever regretted doing a test but runtime assertions are so much better because they deal with issues when they happen, rather than trying to predict potential failures. This was probably forgotten as interpreted lan

Certainly. I'd argue (and I have been) that we should have done these things a long time ago. I live in Denmark, we have a digital national ID called mitID. You can use it without the official app, but it's annoying, and similar t

I think you raise a good question, but Python doesn't have a traditional for loop. To do it in one loop, you'd either have to simulate a traditional for loop with something like range, or you'd have to build a c/zig&#x2F

It's wild that the aristocracy has to re-learn that rule of law, equality and liberalism are sort of great when you don't want the king to be capable of taking your toys at a whim.

It may have to do with workflow. I rarely talk with the AI agent, I task it with a VIBE.md or a specific outlined prompt that relates to inline "COPILOT: ...." comments, and then I review the changes and either keep or dismiss the

Are you using the LLM's through a browser chatbot? Because the AI-agents we use with direct code-access aren't very chatty. I'd also argue that they are more capable than a lot of junior programmers, at least around here. We&

I've worked with a lot of languages over the years, Java, C#, Go, Typescript, C and Python have been the main ones. These days everything is becoming Python around here... well with some C/Zig when needed... and the one thing I mi

I thought I pretty clearly stated that I was already losing that knowledge long before AI. I guess time will tell if I will lose even more with agents, but I frankly doubt that is possible.

I don't think that research will show what you're hoping it would. I'm not a big proponent of AI, you shouldn't bother going through my history but it is there to back up my statement if you're bored. Anyway, even I

For me it's mostly about the efficiency of the code they write. This is because I work in energy where efficiency matters because our datasets are so ridicilously large and every interface to that data is so ridicilously bad. I'd
